“We expect that next week the money will go to the regions, and you will bring it to agricultural producers as quickly as possible. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that an additional 10 billion rubles have been approved for this measure. At the same time, it is possible to establish an increased subsidy rate per ton of sold grain. The regions, as before, have been given the opportunity to adjust the level of compensation,” Dmitry Patrushev stressed.
Also at the meeting, the pace of bringing support funds to the regions was considered. Currently, the national average is 70%, which is better than in previous years. The Minister urged representatives of the subjects not to slow down the dynamics. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the development in terms of capital construction projects for the integrated development of rural areas and land reclamation. By the end of the year, the planned volumes should be fully mastered.
